Jungle Cruise

Partly inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark and The African Queen as well as the Disney Parks' famous ride this movie is named after, Jungle Cruise is way too much exposition though things are kept hopping during most of its running time. Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt (along with the person playing the latter's brother) take us on a mostly enjoyable ride to whatever they're looking for. My movie theatre-working friend enjoyed this much more than I did but I liked it fine for what it was. Some of the most enjoyable parts were Johnson's corny puns. So that's a partial recommendation of Jungle Cruise.

This movie is in the same spirit as movies of the past such as the Mummy, Indiana Jones, and so on. It's three main stars shine in their roles and have great chemistry not seen in too many movies nowadays. Action is good and story is actually somewhat original! For a movie based off a ride, this is a damn good movie. Just know what ship you're about to sail.

P. S sorry for that last pun.

Acting was very good. Story: a bit cliche. Not boring. It's very good for family and kids. If you want to spend good time then this is a good one. I watched it big screen and will recommend others to watch it in movie halls. The experience will be good.

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are their usual, hugely enjoyable selves and even Jack Whitehall isn't particularly annoying. The story zips along pleasantly enough, delivering all the necessary action as it does so and, before you know it, two hours have passed agreeably enough. And that's about it, really...

You can't help but enjoy everything while it's happening but, once done, there's not an awful lot left on the bones to pick over. Hollywood being what it is, I'm sure a sequel is in the works. There really shouldn't be. They just barely managed to make this initial movie work, trying to repeat that process will, on the evidence of what we have here, be a very risky endeavour. Leave well alone and move on to the next Disneyland attraction would be my advice. Jason Statham in It's A Small World, anyone...?

Kudos, by the way, for the excellent use of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"....

I miss judged this movie from the trailers. The Rock and Emily both did a great job with their characters. This movie is to have a good time with a few laughs here and there. Was able to see this early at the exclusive Hollywood Premier at the El Capitan theater.
